Somto BisinaJustin Bieber has cancelled the remaining dates of his Justice world tour, following health issues. The singer has postponed the tour several times, telling fans last summer that he was suffering from facial paralysis, after a diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS).

Justin Bieber had been due to play shows in the US, Australia and Europe, including a date in Manchester this Saturday (4 March).

But he has since said that shows in Europe had “taken a real toll on me” and that he needs more time to “rest and get better”.
